Reese's unwavering belief in her abilities was evident after the game. "I'm a dog," she told ESPN's Holly Rowe. "You can't teach that. I'm going to go out and do whatever it takes to win every single night."
The Fever's loss was a disappointing end to a strong performance from Caitlin Clark. The Iowa Hawkeye star had a remarkable 17 points, 13 assists, and four steals, setting a Fever franchise record for assists in a single game. However, Clark's impact waned in the fourth quarter, as the Sky's defense clamped down.

Aliyah Boston also had a solid outing for the Fever, finishing with 18 points, seven rebounds, and six assists. Kelsey Mitchell led the team in scoring with 24 points, while NaLyssa Smith added 12 points and seven rebounds.
Despite their efforts, the Fever couldn't overcome the Sky's late surge. Boston's 3-pointer with 19.1 seconds remaining brought the deficit to within one point, but the Fever failed to score again, handing the victory to the Sky.
The Sky's victory improves their record to 6-11, while the Fever drop to 7-11. Both teams will look to build on their performances as the WNBA season continues. The Sky will face the Phoenix Mercury on Tuesday, while the Fever will take on the Las Vegas Aces on Wednesday.
